Undergraduate Programmes

The School, and its constituent Departments, boasts an excellent reputation for its Undergraduate teaching provision. We are a research active school and we pride ourselves on delivering high standards of teaching which draw from the latest research and developments in the related scientific fields.

Our Undergraduate students are an integral part of the life and development of not only our Departments but also the School itself. We therefore aim to ensure we learn together and support each other throughout your time at the University.

Physics is vital to understanding the world around us and the Universe beyond. It is the most fundamental science. Physics challenges our imaginations with concepts like relativity and string theory and it leads to great discoveries about how the world works.

Discoveries in physics make possible technological innovations like the transistors and the microchip, computers and lasers which in turn change our lives. Physics encompasses the study of the universe from the largest galaxies to the smallest subatomic particles.

The Department of Physics offers a range of undergraduate degree programmes which in themselves showcase the fundamental importance of physics in relation to other areas of science and the arts.
